      Thanks Denise. Just catching up on some replies. Hope you had a good Christmas and are enjoying your summer. I am looking out of the window to everywhere white over with frost.

      @ oh wow. That would be so beautiful and so cold all at once! We have had a quiet Christmas - thanks to moving and Covid in the family. Been good though. Enjoy the opportunities that come in the new year for you Darrell! I'll look forward to enjoying your adventures. And catching up on some videos that I haven't had a chance to enjoy for awhile.

    Some great ideas there. I really like the last photo, and the tree stump one with all the little fungi growing up it, but out of those others you asked us to comment on, I liked the mossy one, and the one with the fern leaf coming down from the top of the frame. Really good video!

    A super good utility when taking macro… always include something of intuitive dimensions/size in the photo… for mushrooms, maybe picking them and showing the fingers/hand holding them… without a size comparison, the shots seem to always ever only be so-so

    Thank you for this video with very useful advice! The focus shift diagram was very well done. I like the moss- and the fern-added mushrooms the most :-) One question, have you tried tele-mushroom photo ? This can make the focus-shift useless. Loved your photos! Mushrooms are one of the most beautiful manifestations of autumn!

    Hi Darrell Interesting and useful information on Focus Stacking. We thought when you added the additional lighting it added another dimension. Which really enhanced the detail of the mushroom. Would you please let us know what make of light you used. Thanks Jon and Sandra

      I'm finding loads of comments I haven't responded to this morning. My light is a Rotolight - 6AA batteries and not cheap (I've had it for about ten years). Probably a normal torch would be just as good.

    nice change Darrell, did you try to get a glowing mushroom ?

    • @DarrellOakdenPhotography
      @DarrellOakdenPhotography  3 месяца назад

      I assume you mean a back lit mushroom. I got one in my last video from about two years ago.
